Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! Error: circular dependencies:

('ebuild', '/', 'app-admin/gamin-0.1.9-r1', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/glib-2.16.5', 'merge') (hard)
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/glib-2.16.5', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'app-admin/gamin-0.1.9-r1', 'merge') (hard)

!!! Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
!!! disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.


Reproducible: Always
